You know that big blue & pink waterpark opposite JBR? Well, it’s harder than it looks…

We’ve strapped ourselves to the top of a plane, drifted around in a race car, ziplined across the Dubai Fountain and bounced around giant trampoline parks. But the thing that broke us? The innocent-looking blue and pink waterpark at The Beach Opposite JBR.

‘It’s just a few bouncy walkways and slides,’ we thought as we merrily ran our way down the beach and toward the 77m long by 33m wide floating obstacle course, completely ignoring the owner’s warning that Crossfit athletes have struggled to complete it. And then this happened…

As you can see, we struggled to even get on the thing (not a good start), and while we had fun running along the course, as soon as we had to attempt any of the actual obstacles? Fail.

We lasted about 45 minutes, and managed to conquer about a third of the obstacles.

Have you fared better? Let us know in the comments below. Fancy yourself super fit? We dare you to complete it (just be careful of the barnacles on the underside of the floating course, we cut ourselves more than once on them)…

Dubai Waterpark at THE BEACH opposite JBR, Dhs80 for as long as you can hack it, Dhs190 for an unlimited day pass (meaning you can go back and forth as many times as you want). 10am to 7pm daily. For group bookings call (050) 784 9784. More info on Facebook.
